Aarhus Cathedral Votive Ship Poster
"Aarhus Cathedral Votive Ship" by Catherine Sherman.
This model ship is hanging in Aarhus Cathedral (Danish: Aarhus Domkirke), a cathedral in Aarhus, Denmark.
A Scandinavian custom in many churches is a ship hanging from the ceiling as a reminder of those lost at sea and which also reflects an old Nordic tradition of giving offerings for the protection of loved ones at sea. The ship models are often called votive ships.
The cathedral's ship (dated 1720) is named Enigheden (English: Unity) and it might have been built in Holland: the Russian tsar Peter the Great ordered war ships from ship builders in Holland; instead of sketches, he was offered a model of the upcoming ship, which was sent by sea to Russia. A storm sank the transport by Skagen, Denmark's northernmost town, and the model made it to shore almost intact. Some fishermen from Aarhus bought the model, and subsequently offered it as a votive gift to the Aarhus Domkirke.
With the model ship's length of 2.65 meters (8.7 feet) and height of 3.50 meters (11.5 feet), it is the largest church ship in any Danish church, and it is also thought of as a symbol of man's sail from cradle to grave. The Aarhus cathedral is the longest and tallest church in the country, at 93 meters (305 feet) in length and 96 meter (315 feet) in height.

I was so amazed at how this all turned out. Everyone who attended the funeral was in awe of how beautiful it was made.
And I owe it all to Zazzle. I wouldn’t have done it better myself not to mention I wouldnt have time to do it.
The great part of it all was they had templates that was catered to my needs and that I could use it in ways I wanted to use to resize it my way. It took some time but I was happy it turned out great. I did 100 photos, 89, 66 photos (I think) lol templates.
The only suggestion is that the templates, before sending through would tell you of errors like; saying please revise or resize it again for any photos that is not perfectly well sitting or not show it’s cutting off some of them and where it tells you there’s duplicates.
Staring, placing and resizing all 100 + pictures into the template can be tiresome and overwhelming and it makes my eyes blurred that I can’t tell if they’re cutting off or overlapping or duplicates.
Overall I am very pleased and will be using Zazzle again should the need arises.
Thank you Zazzle.
Altogether I’ve done 3 collages 1 profile picture and couple pictures with 1 frame and yet this is my first time ordering as a 1 time customer.
Prices were very reasonable and accommodating to my finances.

Fun bright artwork that really captures the mood I’m going for! Pop art with cyberpunk energy. A little sweet but also spicy. This art is the perfect size and vibe for our art gallery wall. The printing looks great, high quality with vibrant colors! I went with the semi-gloss finish, which adds a little extra shine and thickness to the print making it excellent for high-traffic areas like the staircase wall.
